White Paper Theme 3 - WP7 Facilities & component analysis for detector r&d WP7 Meeting #1 Mar CAPEANS CERN PH-DT

WP7 In the framework of the CERN Council White Paper activities, the PH Department has identified 10 strategic R&D activities which concern the development of specific expertise relevant for future projects, covering the years 2008-2011. WP7 is devoted to Facilities and Component Analysis for Detector R&D and comprises two main lines of activity: Construction of SHLC compatible GIF and hadron irradiation facilities Component Analysis for Detector R&D (gas mixture choices and purification techniques, coolants, detector assembly materials, etc.) M.Capeans, together with C.Rembser for GIF++, lead this WP M.C. 19/8/08
